Tidy Up Your Cloud Storage, protect memories online
Find Things Easily: No more searching forever for that one photo.

Protect Memories Online: Your photos, videos, and files are important. Make sure loved ones can access them if needed.
How to Start: Tips for Any Cloud Service
Look at Everything: Before deleting, check what's there. See which files take up the most space.
Make a Plan: Choose folders that make sense to you. Like "Family Photos," "Work Stuff," "Important Papers," etc.
Delete Regularly: Get rid of things you don't need anymore. Like copies, old papers, or blurry photos.
Google Drive
Home View: Google Drive's new Home view shows files you're likely to need, making them easier to find. It's a combination of the old "Priority" and "Quick Access" sections.
Search Tricks: Use special words in the search bar (like "before:2022" or "type:pdf") to find things faster.
OneDrive
Files On-Demand: This clever feature lets you see all your OneDrive files in File Explorer or Finder without actually downloading them, saving space on your computer. Files are downloaded only when you need them.
Version History: OneDrive automatically keeps old versions of your files. To find them, right-click on a file and select "Version history." You can then preview and restore older versions if needed.
Shared Stuff: Check what you're sharing with others and stop sharing if you don't need to anymore.
Shared Stuff: Check what you're sharing with others and stop sharing if you don't need to anymore.
iCloud
Save Space: iCloud can automatically keep only the files you use most on your phone or computer.
Photos: Pictures use lots of space. Delete copies or photos you don't love.
Think About the Future:
Who Gets Your Stuff? Choose someone you trust to handle your online storage if you can't.
Write it Down: Make a list of your accounts and passwords and store it safely.
Update Your Plan: As life changes, update who gets your digital stuff.
